Mail Notification v6

by Mottie

Description

This mod opens a popup to notify you if you have a new mail message. It was written for users who wish to hide their top menu bar (state bar/log in bar). Or if you just want a bigger message telling you that you have mail. I've set it up to open either a growl window (timed popup) or a facebox (popup you have to close).

For more information on the custom variables, please see this post.
To style the growl window (pictured above), use the "Growl Window Styling" Mod or refer to this post.
To style the Facebox popup window, please refer to this post.

The World of Warcraft Add-On (GPHelper) has had a couple of changes made: 1) the add-on itself has been marked for the latest version of WoW, and 2) guild bank item imports now work.

To get the latest version, open your Control Panel, click WoW Integration, and then click the download link. Instructions for installation are also on that page, in case you haven't done it before. Instructions are also given on how to use the add-on in-game, and finally, on how to upload the data the add-on collects to your site.

Now, as functionality such as blogging, walls, mail and one-on-one chat have been added to GuildPortal, you've probably noticed the icons stacking up next to user names on your sites. Though they can be disabled, once you do, the functionality that goes along with them is lost to you.

We're almost ready to push a change in how that works. Basically, user names will appear on the site as simple links, with no icons next to them (except in the forums). When clicked, a window will open up where you will be able to view the person's most recent blog entries, memberships and titles, and characters. It's there where you will have the ability to send them web-based mail, visit their blog/wall, or open up a one-on-one chat.

This will significantly de-clutter you guild pages, without sacrificing features. Expect that sometime next week, and as always, thank you for choosing GuildPortal!
